There are so many instances where a simple search of threads would have kept so many of these threads from getting corrupted.

The social networks today are so very primitive. And, that brings up another new phrase found in the latest Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Narcissistic personality disorder. I wonder if the dictionaries are splintering, also, into their own favorite words? That would be appropriate.
